The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has dismissed media reports suggesting corruption, financial misappropriation or revenue losses at the Authority.
The NPA issued a statement on Monday, July 20, responding to a media publication commenting on the Auditor-General's Performance Audit Report on its operations covering the period from 2023 to 2025. The report does not establish any financial or revenue loss to the NPA, according to the Authority. "The Auditor-General's report does not establish any financial loss or revenue loss to the National Petroleum Authority," the statement said.
The NPA also rejected media descriptions of the report as evidence of "rot", corruption or financial misappropriation. It insisted that such claims do not reflect the actual findings of the Auditor-General. The Authority specifically accused The NewsCenta newspaper of failing to include management's response to the audit findings in its publication.

"The report by The NewsCenta Newspaper did not capture the Management response to the Audit findings," the Authority stated. The NPA reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability and sound corporate governance. It stressed that it remains dedicated to strengthening regulatory oversight in Ghana's downstream petroleum sector.
The Authority further urged the public to rely only on its official communications for accurate information regarding the matter. The NPA will continue to engage constructively with the Ghana Audit Service and implement appropriate recommendations from the audit to improve operational efficiency and consumer protection.
